COMMUNICATING WITH THE FUTURE: AWARD-WINNING TPAP PROJECT PRESERVES FRAGILE DIGITAL DATA
How will our grandchildren understand the dramatic events of the 2008 U.S. presidential election if they can’t access the rich digital information that documented and, arguably, influenced the process?
To create a “memory” to deliver today’s digital information reliably to
future generations, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Transcontinental Persistent Archives Prototype (TPAP) project is addressing key challenges in safeguarding, preserving and providing access to authentic electronic records as the nation’s information becomes increasingly digital.
